When I'm anxious, I can't stop eating uncontrollably. What can I do?
Anxiety can lead us to eat as a way to soothe our emotions. This isn't a mistake; it's a coping mechanism. Try to identify what triggers your anxiety, plan your meals, and keep healthy snacks on hand. Techniques like mindful breathing or moving around a bit can help you reconnect with yourself before eating. If binge eating is frequent, seek professional support; there are tools that work.
